I usually ride every nice weekend with my wife and a friend. My wife went shopping so my friend brought his Schwinn Madison fixed gear bike he always bragged about. I rode my older Raleigh aluminum road bike which feels like it weighs less. We both have 700X23 tires and mine are folding, his aren't.
I'm tall and thin while he is about 6', could stand to lose 35 pounds and he is 14 months older.
We rode 22 miles. He blew me away during the ride. I averaged 19 MPH which about
killed me. He would slow down to let me catch up and would sprint ahead 100 yards.
He also went faster on the slight inclines even though he couldn't downshift.
The only physical advantage he has over me are his big thighs.
